(Known through history as Drax, Dægen, and Dagonberto Lucero)
He has worn more names than most men live lifetimes.
Drax. Dægan. Dagonberto Lucero.
Each name marks an age.
Each age demanded a different mask.
This is the story of the Stormborne who learned that identity is survival.
This post explores why names matter to immortals – and what each identity reveals about him.
The First Stone – The Iron Law
Position: Oldest of the Stormbornes
Era of Birth: Early Stone Age (pre-Neolithic)
Languages: Speaks many tongues across centuries (Brittonic, Latin, Old English, Welsh, Old Norse, Arabic, medieval Spanish, modern European languages, and forgotten tribal dialects)
“Before there were kings, there was survival.
Before laws, there was consequence.
I learned both.”
Origins – The First Brother
Dægan was born when the world was still raw.
Before farming.
Before borders.
Before names had meaning.
In the age of flint and fire, he learned:
how to hunt
how to guard
how to stand watch through endless nights
This is why he became the foundation brother.
When the others were born into growing tribes and early settlements,
Dægan already carried centuries of survival in his bones.
They follow him without realising why.
The first stone always holds the wall.
Names Through Time
Dægan understands that names are armour.
But survival required more than strength. It required reinvention.
Names Through Time
Drax (Bronze Age) A war-name earned in blood during the Bronze Age
Dægen ( Medieval England)A lawful name used in medieval England to blend into society.
Dagonberto Lucero ( Medieval Spain)A Spanish identity chosen for balance and diplomacy.
Chosen for numerology – a 2 energy name: balance, mediation, quiet strength, dual worlds.
No matter the name, the duty never changes.

He builds systems that outlast him.
Laws. Walls. Orders that hold when leaders fall.

Calm
Silent
Observant
Unshakeable
Fair, never soft

Stillness that anchors a room

When battles break, men look for Taranis.
When kingdoms break, they look for Dægan.
Wound
He watches people:
betray themselves
destroy what they built
choose chaos over peace
His tragedy:
He can’t save everyone.
But he tries anyway.
That is why he does not laugh easily.
A simplistic drawing of an open book with text and wavy lines on the pages.
An abstract illustration representing the concept of identity, with a stylized piece of paper or scroll, highlighting themes of history and legacy.

Where order collapses,
Dægan appears.
Then disappears.
Relationship with Thun (Taranis)
Thun is the storm.
Dægan is the wall.
Protects him fiercely
Argues with him often
Would die for him without question
Knows Thun will never change his name
Lets him stay wild
Someone must remain unmasked.
Thun chose that burden.

Closing
Before kings, he stood.
After empires fall, he will still stand.
Dægan’s legacy is not written in songs or crowns.
It lives in the walls that still stand.
In laws that protect the innocent.
In quiet figures history forgot but the world remembers.
Storms pass.
Stones remain.
Which of Dægan’s names speaks to you most warrior, lawkeeper, or scholar?
Do you think identity changes who we are or only how the world sees us?
Have you ever had to become someone else to survive?
